Who was Sacagawea

There are more statues of her than of any other American woman. Her face is on a U.S. coin. Clearly, she was an important person. But what do we know about the real Sacagawea?

Sacagawea was part of a Native American tribe called the Shoshone. At the age of 13, she was taken away by people from the Hidatsa tribe. She was living among the Hidatsa when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark met her in 1804.

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark were mapmakers. These pioneers were exploring the western part of the U.S. Because Sacagawea spoke two different Native American languages, they asked her to travel with them, along with her husband and baby son.

Sacagawea became an important part of the group and helped the explorers in many ways. For example, on May 14, 1805, a strong storm tipped over one of their boats. Sacagawea stayed calm. She acted quickly and was able to save many of the maps and other things from the water. Her actions saved important knowledge from being lost.

As they traveled, Sacagawea helped Lewis and Clark talk to the Native American people in each village they visited. She helped the explorers make friends among the Native Americans, so they could trade with them. She also helped Lewis and Clark find a way across the mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and helped them find food on the way.

Sacagawea died when she was about 25. Sadly, we don't know much more about this amazing woman. But two hundred years later, she is remembered as an important woman in U.S. history.

In paragraph 3, what does they refer to?

Lewis and Clark

The United States became a country on July 4, 1776. At that time, it covered only a small area on the east coast. However, the new Americans decided to add more land to their country. No one had much knowledge of the land to the west. They knew that it was different from the east, but they had no clear idea of what it was like.

President Thomas Jefferson wanted a team to explore the area. After some discussion, Lewis and Clark were chosen as leaders. In 1804, these two men, along with 50 others, headed west. In August, they met a group of Native Americans. Their meeting with representatives of the Missouri Indians went well, but they knew other groups, especially the stronger ones, might be different. By December the team reached North Dakota. They chose a safe site and stayed for the winter. This was near a Hidatsa village, where Lewis and Clark asked Sacagawea to join the group. In the spring, they started west again.

Now the explorers were entering an area only Native Americans had ever seen. They faced many problems--wild animals, not enough food, and very bad weather. However, by November 1805, they reached the Pacific ocean. It was only in September 1806 when they reached their starting point in St. Louis. It had taken them nearly two and a half years to return home, but they were welcomed as national heroes.
